When you have lots to do, but just wanna go to bed...

Right now I have some more stuff to do until I can call it a night, but I hardly can keep my eyes open. Normally I would do something more active first, but all things left needs to be done on the computer. So...

What is your suggestion that might help me stay awake until all things are done?

And what are you doing in such a situation?

 

If it's cool outdoors I walk outside for a few minutes, but without a jacket. That usually wakes me up.

 

Connie, that one might have worked. It's really cold outside. But sadly I fall asleep before I saw your post.


More ideas? For the next time?

 

Cold drinks? Anything warm or hot would just put me out.

 

Popcorn. Eating keeps me awake, and popcorn is a good thing that you can eat with one hand while using the other.

 

Indeed eating helps. It's just that one gains weight by eating too much.

Tomorrow I'll have to work on the same thing again and if I get close to falling asleep again, I'll follow your suggestions. Let's see what helps the best. Of course taking a nap will be the last option.

 

I need my hands. Mister, I hope you won't be sad, if I don't try that.

 

That's why I suggested popcorn, if you don't put extra butter, salt or sugar on it it's a lot better than sweets or crisps. Sure not totally healthy, but if it's just a matter of an evening I think it's ok.

 

That's true. And I wouldn't think of living just of popcorn. Although... with suger... I just love sweets.

 

That would make me crazy and I couldn't do anything else anymore.
